Call for Internship Applications

Craigardan invites applications for its three- to six-month Resident Internship Program in Elizabethtown, New York. The educational work-exchange residency offers farm and food, studio, or combined art and farm focus areas. Participants receive housing, studio and program access, mentorship, hands-on learning, and a farm share in exchange for work and independent-project commitments; the stated $2,300 weekly fellowship figure represents the value of the free residency rather than cash compensation.

Intersections of food, farming, and the arts

Positions are described as available to early-career individuals with a strong interest in ceramic arts, culinary arts, and/or farming, while the eligibility section also says Craigardan supports artists, farmers, and scholars at any career stage. Applicants may be based anywhere in the world and may apply as a team. Focus areas are Farm + Food, Studio, or a combined Art + Farm internship. Each internship is at least three months, with the listed residency length being three to six months. This is a rigorous educational work exchange requiring 30 hours per week on the community farm and/or in the studio, including rotating farm and farmhouse chores, plus 10 hours per week on an individual project and attendance at all lectures and special programs. Participants receive a free residency, mentorship, housing, a farm share, access to programs, and studio access. They must purchase groceries beyond the farm share and pantry, prepare their own meals, cover additional personal expenses, and have a car. Pets are not allowed.
